Sanpasaurus

Naam beteken: “Sanpa lizard”1

Sanpasaurus was a long-necked dinosaur that munched on plants during the Early Jurassic. It lived in what is now China, and scientists used to think it was a different kind of dinosaur. Now they know it was an early sauropod, a relative of giants like Brachiosaurus.1 2

Prettige feite

Sanpasaurus was first thought to be an ornithopod dinosaur, but later studies showed it was actually a sauropod.1 2

The fossils of Sanpasaurus include 20 vertebrae, shoulder blades, forelimbs, and some hindlimb bones.1

Sanpasaurus lived about 183 million years ago, during the Early Jurassic period.1

Scientists think Sanpasaurus was a small-bodied sauropod, possibly a juvenile.2

Sanpasaurus had a special feature on its back vertebrae: thin ridges on the sides of the neural arches.2

The name Sanpasaurus comes from 'Sanpa', an old name for the area in China where it was found.1

KI-prent van Sanpasaurus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Sanpasaurus dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.

Mite-breker

Mite: Some people think Sanpasaurus was a type of ornithopod dinosaur.

Waarheid: Scientists now know it was a sauropod, based on detailed studies of its bones.1 2

Vir dino-kenners

Ontdekking: Sanpasaurus was named by Chinese paleontologist Chung Chien Young in 1944. The fossils were found in 1939 near Weiyuan City in Sichuan, China.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are still debating exactly where Sanpasaurus fits in the sauropod family tree, and whether some other fossils belong to it.2
